Only in the sense of jacking up your optimism enough to attempt and (persist till success) at something a 'realist' would have (often rightly) dismissed as impossible. Or similar situations.

This is my problem with ideas like those found in the book 'Creative Visualization'. If your happy visualizations create good things for you, well, the second edge of the sword is that the bad things you might visualize might create bad things for you.

Evolution happened in a quantum mechanical environment. It gave us eyes and noses. They're not classical systems. They're not the only non-classical systems in the body. Magnetic sense? And maybe more....

I’m fine with non-classical physics
